PUNQ

Rated 15 May 2013

Mack "Mr. Keystone" Sennett directs Buster Keaton! Their only collaborate effort. This is however a average Keaton comedy short at Educational and nothing remarkable. Still it's interesting to know their paths have crossed. The story is that Buster tries to escape marrying a girl, and swears off girls.... yet he picks one up. A man hater. However their hate for the big man Tiny Sandford gets them working together. Some good gags here and there, but as said. Just a very average effort o
